What is the difference between shadowing a doctor and an externship with a doctor?
How do you get involved with an externship program?

The only externships I know of are the ones you do as a 3rd or 4th year medical student when you spend time at other hospitals.

grammar police:
there = location
their = possessive pronoun

Don't you think that's a little harsh?

No, it really isn't. Read his posts. Also refer to any posts made by user gottamakeit, who was banned for trolling.

I was told that an Externship is just a label for a formalized program that offers learning and hands on experience to grad students (med students included) pre-degree. They can't call them internships because in medicine that has a different meaning.

For med students, usually it is the 3rd and 4th year students who might have time to be involved in externships. And depending on the program, some only want 3rd/4th year students.

I have never heard of a pre-med getting an externship without some other graduate degree (PhD, M.S.), but perhaps its possible.

I thought the two seemed similar in their writing.... however the threads gottamakeit started were quite a bit worse.

No, it's a fair assessment.
